2016 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.6L Diesel · ND66 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 5 March 2026 at 50,212 miles, which recorded no defects. While the car has experienced several failures in previous years, the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of resolving identified issues. The significant failure in March 2025 involving multiple tyre defects and an exhaust mounting was addressed, as evidenced by the subsequent pass on 6 March 2025. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent annual testing, with the distance between the 2024 test at 34,043 miles and the 2025 test at 42,714 miles representing a typical low-use cycle. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not faced heavy mechanical strain, though the intermittent tyre issues may indicate periods of stationary storage or infrequent driving where rubber degradation occurs. A buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and the exhaust system during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related failures, specifically regarding sidewall damage, perishing, and tread depth, with failures noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Although these are consumable items, the frequency suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive with tyre maintenance. The offside rear exhaust mounting was flagged as defective in both the March 2025 failure and the subsequent pass, so verifying the security of the exhaust system is advisable. Finally, the 2024 test highlighted front brake pads wearing thin, which is expected given the vehicle's age and mileage. While the 2026 test was clean, a manual check of the brake discs and pads is recommended to ensure the wear is consistent with the current mileage. No structural corrosion or suspension component failures have been flagged in the history, which is a positive indicator for the vehicle's long-term integrity.
